NYX Advanced Salon Formula – Part 3

Let’s continue on with the NYX Advanced Salon Formula colors, shall we? This was an interesting batch of NYX Advanced Salon Formula polishes to swatch. With two of them, Magnolia and Sumptuous being so similar in color, I actually had to redo swatches because I kept getting them mixed up. I continue to be impressed [...]

Kleancolor 3 – Green With Envy

After the last few Kleancolor swatches I’ve done, these look positively sedate! Pearl Jungle is probably the flashiest of these four colors, almost leaning towards a glass flecked and not a pearl as the title suggests. Teal Envy, as the name implies, is more of a teal based green. For me, there are just a [...]

Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Shimmers

Now that we’ve covered the Xtreme Wear glitters, let’s move onto the new shimmers. The shimmers in this line are very appealing as a group, but are not that unusual on an individual basis. These all sport an extremely sparkly shimmer that leans to glass flecked. With two coat coverage and the less than $3 [...]

Misa Paradise Shore

You know how the year has a tendency to run away from you? I realized yesterday that we are already into autumn and I’m not quite sure how we got here as the year has just whizzed by. I had actually swatched these Misa Paradise Shore polishes sometime in summer and totally forgotten I had [...]

Loreal Summer Siren: Something to Sing About

I remember a time when Loreal seemed to have several different lines out at one time and all of them contained stunning colors. I’ll not date myself and say when this was, but it’s been awhile. Despite the gorgeous square bottles and the pristine brushes, I’ve not purchased Loreal in about that same time frame [...]

The Cat’s Meow! Part 2 of 2

Peripera was definately not shy about their color range as they had no shortage of non-mainstream colors. I think I got incredibly lucky with the four greens I picked out as each one of them has something a little special going on. Again, all of these colors are two coaters and only Crystal Greene show [...]

The Cat’s Meow! Part 1 of 2

I will be perfectly honest. I was more interested in getting nail polish with cats for the brush handle than the actual colors themselves. Seriously, how cute is that?!? Peripera is a Korean brand that I would have never come to my attention if it wasn’t for stumbling across Gmarket. Gmarket is a three-prong site [...]

One Tin Soldier

Hello, my darling. Who are you and where do you come from? Where are all your friends? Your brother and sisters?

Snack Sized Ultas

Literally. Truly. I started getting hungry with some of these titles. This set of adorable little bottles from Ulta came out last Christmas. I’m already in love with the square, adult Ulta bottles (have I mentioned my love of square polish bottles lately?), but I just want to coo at the the little baby ones. [...]

Hard Candies Good Enough to Lick!

But don’t. It’ll still taste like polish. I stumbled across these beauties the other day at the local Sally’s. I was stopping by to pick up a few polishes for a friend, but once there I ended up getting *cough* a few for myself. When I got to the counter, the clerk looked at me [...]
